Sean and Jeff are due to finish Saturday. The pair, who is paddling as Team Sweetwater, are raising awareness of the 190-mile Lee County trail and fundraising for the Clinic for Rehabilitation of Wildlife on Sanibel Island.

Fitzgibbon, an amputee since age 3, is a licensed/certified orthotic fitter and pedorthist at St. Petersburg Limb and Brace, a sponsor of the expedition, and is a former national surfing champion.

They will return to Lee County to teach a rescue class and speak about their trip during the Calusa Blueway Paddling Festival, Nov. 3-6.
